When Wang Xiaohua heard Su Yue speak so gently, she couldn't help but feel a sense of worry. Fu Shen's mother, Liu Xiuying, was not an easy person to talk to.
Just as the oxcart slowly entered the village, someone shouted, "Fu Liugen's eldest son, who was serving in the army, is back!"
Upon hearing this shout, many people in the field stopped their farm work and looked up.
Some busybodies ran off to inform Fu Liugen and Liu Xiuying, who were not working on the same plot of land.
As they peered out from a distance, the crowd began to chatter amongst themselves.
"Who is the girl sitting next to Wang Xiaohua? Could she be Fu Shen's wife?"
"How could that be! Liu Xiuying wrote to Fu Shen a long time ago, saying that her family had found him a wife. He has always been obedient to Liu Xiuying since he was a child. How could he do something so rebellious?"
"That's hard to say. Look at the girl sitting next to Wang Xiaohua. She's fair-skinned and delicate. What do Liu Xiuying's words matter?"
"Bullshit! Who said my words don't count? I'll tear their mouth apart!"
Liu Xiuying's sharp voice suddenly rang out, her face full of anger as she rushed over in a hurry.
When Liu Xiuying heard that Fu Shen had returned with a wife, she felt her blood rush to her head and her lungs about to explode with anger.
She had everything planned out perfectly. Once Fu Shen married her sister's "niece" and left her daughter-in-law at home, she was confident she could keep Fu Shen under control and prevent him from sending all his wages back.
If he dares not to send it, she will go to the military base and make a scene, then see how he can stay there any longer.
How dare they deceive her for so long, thinking they could get rid of her with just five yuan? They're dreaming!
We must make him return every single penny of the money he hasn't sent back over the years.
Three months ago, Liu Xiuying went to the bank as usual to withdraw the five yuan that Fu Shen sent back every month.
She was initially happy after withdrawing the money. An old man had been working as a security guard at the bank for seven or eight years, and Liu Xiuying came to the bank every month to withdraw money. She often saw him and would occasionally exchange a few words with him.
The old man asked her with a smile, "Young lady, has your son sent money back again?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiuying was overjoyed. After seven or eight years, someone had finally taken the initiative to ask her about withdrawing money. She couldn't help but boast about it.
So, as if afraid that others wouldn't know, she revealed how much money Fu Shen sent each month.
The old man assumed Fu Shen was already married and could still send five yuan home every month, so he couldn't help but praise him, saying, "Your son is so filial. He's married, yet he still sends you five yuan back."
Liu Xiuying smiled smugly and said, "He's not married yet."
But secretly she was thinking: Why get married? She'd be better off being our family's ATM for life.
The old man compared his son to Fu Shen and sighed, "Why does he send so little money home when he's not even married? He's a man in the army, he can't possibly spend that much money."
Hearing this, Liu Xiuying wasn't stupid and pressed, "What do you mean by this little bit of money?"
The old man explained with a kind expression, "Young lady, my son is also a soldier. For the past ten years or so, his salary was fifteen yuan. Now it has increased by more than half. Young lady, I advise you to write to your son and ask him where the rest of the money went."
Seeing that Liu Xiuying's expression was off, the old man added, "A young man who isn't married and doesn't know how to save money, maybe he has a girlfriend but hasn't told you."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiuying felt as if the sky had fallen.
She was still feeling smug about the five yuan, never imagining that Fu Shen's salary might be twenty or thirty yuan, while he only sent five yuan back.
Upon returning home, Liu Xiuying immediately shouted at the top of her lungs that her son, Fu Bao, should write a letter to Fu Shen, urging him to come back quickly.
After sending the letter, she was filled with anticipation, thinking that Fu Shen would be back soon, so she waited at home with peace of mind.
But after waiting for more than a month, they still hadn't seen a trace of Fu Shen.
Despite her heartache, she spent five cents to call the army, only to be told by Fu Shen's superior that he had been recalled to the army for a mission on his way back.
Liu Xiuying inquired about the approximate time when the task could be completed, and then wrote another letter, clearly stating that she had found him a wife at home.
Unexpectedly, this rebellious son has brought someone back with him. What is he planning to do?
This is a blatant slap in the face to Liu Xiuying!
The man who said Liu Xiuying's words were nothing, after being yelled at by Liu Xiuying, turned red in the face and wanted to retort.
